Madeline Miller wins The Orange Prize with her debut novel The Song of Achilles. More great news for the genre.

And my novel Rocamora was a finalist at the International Book Awards in the HF category.

Congratulations, donroc!

Wow, that is good news. The Song of Achilles is on my TBR pile...I'm moving it up to the top.

Is it too much to hope that HF becomes the The Next Big Thing?

I had it out of my library a few months ago, but went into a reading funk, and returned it unread. I will have to see if they still have it, or I think I'll buy it over the weekend.

Here's hoping.

This is good news for historical. I received it for Mother's Day but haven't read it yet.

Congrats Doc Roc!

Argh!

The last thing we want is Historical to be the next big thing.

We want them to be regarded as great reads by good writers not a lot of slush rushed out because Historicals sell!!!!

I'm almost finished this [only started it Friday], and it is an amazing book.

Forget its literary credentials, this is a real page-turner.

I've got two completed HF manuscripts just waiting for the circus to come back to town.
